A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, geometric construction. Strokes stay largely uniform, giving the letters a solid, poster-like mass, while curved joins and softened corners keep the forms friendly rather than rigid. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a forward-leaning rhythm with compact counters and strong silhouette presence. Spacing reads on the tight-to-normal side at display sizes, emphasizing density and impact.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, brand marks, sports and fitness graphics, posters, and packaging where strong typographic color is desirable. It can also work for short UI callouts or badges, but the dense, heavy forms are more comfortable in brief lines than extended reading.
The overall tone is assertive and fast, with a contemporary, sporty feel. Its forward lean and thick forms communicate momentum and confidence, making it feel suited to bold statements and attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet, editorial nuance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a dynamic, forward-leaning stance, combining geometric simplicity with rounded terminals for approachability. It prioritizes bold presence and quick recognition in large-scale typography.
Uppercase shapes are clean and simplified, with round bowls and sturdy diagonals; lowercase maintains a straightforward, single-storey feel in several characters and keeps counters relatively closed for weighty color. Numerals match the same oblique, blocky character and feel designed to hold up in large, high-contrast layouts.
